Template flow "Create Todoist Tasks for Flagged Office 365 emails" failing due to JSON error

[obrica]

I'm trying to use and implement the public template "Create Todoist Tasks for Flagged Office 365 emails." Absent any modification, the flow has issues before even running it; attempting to select a Todoist Project ID shows the following error:

"There's a problem The response is not in a JSON format. More diagnostic information: x-ms-client-request-id is '833AFBC6-C4F7-4BEB-880D-C6F43DFE60D7'."

Predictably, the same error occurs if you try to run the flow:

Is there a way to solve this by modifying the template? I've read other posts on this forum about JSON errors for other flows and integrations (with various solutions), but not for this specific one.

Hi @obrica,

It looks like that template is using the deprecated Create a Task action:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/todoist/#create-a-task-[deprecated]

When building a new flow that action is not even selectable in the interface. My guess is this old action is causing this error.

I would just start from scratch, to be honest. The template only contains two actions.

With the Create a Task (v2) the setup would be like below.

Great, thank you!

Hi @Expiscornovus , it seems that even the v2 Create Task action is now deprecated and returns this output:

I've also tried the Create Task (v3) preview action but it fails as well. Can you please advise how to fix this?

Hi @shimon001,

It looks like the the v2 action uses v8 version of the Todoist REST API. However, that version has been deprecated by Todoist:

https://developer.todoist.com/sync/v8/#overview

It looks like Microsoft is the publisher of this connector:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/todoist/

If you get the same error in the v3 action as well I would advise to contact Power Automate support for this:

Hi @Expiscornovus, thanks for your reply! I was trying to get to some support directly from Power Automate support team but I can't seem to find any form where I could submit my issue even though I am logged through our company Office 365 account. The support site itself seems to be broken because when I click on "Contact support" support it only shows the information about "Community" vs. "Assisted" support without any option to submit an issue 😞
